There are multiple ways to ruin an engine. The most obvious way is failing to change your oil. Another way that you might have forgotten about or didn’t even know about is running your engine until it overheats. When your engine gets too hot, several important parts are damaged, but there are some fairly easy things that you can maintain to ensure that your engine stays cool.

When your engine overheats, pistons and valves on it can be damaged. This will likely result in thousands of dollars in repair or replacement bills. Talking to your mechanic before and asking them to check and flush out your old coolant can save you a lot of money.

You should also have your hoses checked according to the manufacturer’s warranty. Some hoses are responsible for transporting coolant to parts of your vehicle, and if the hoses are cracked from wear and age, the coolant can’t reach those components on your vehicle.
